JAMES ROUE, OF ST. JOHN, CANADA.

IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLE-RINSERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,603, dated October 29, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES ROUE, of St. John, in the Province of New Brunswick and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in BottleRinser, of which the following is a specication:

The object of this invention is to provide convenient and efficient means for rinsing soda-water and other bottles, tumblers, and similar vessels 5 and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described. The accompanying drawing represents a vertical sectionof my improved bottlerinser.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the valve-chamber or shell, consisting of a vertical tube with one or more branches, B, for attaching a supply-pipe from the waterfountain. C is a gland-nut, which secures packing D around the valve-rod E. F is the valve. G is a cap, which screws onto the top of the valve-chamber A, the interior of which forms the valve-seat H. I is the discharge-tube, which is screwed into the cap G, the upper end of which is perforated to form a rosehead,77 and is marked J. K is a cone at the base, which is screwed onto the glandnut C, upon which the Water used in rinsing falls. The rinser is supported in any suitable manner in a sink, the waste-pipe of which is seen in dotted lines. The lower end of the valverod E is connected with a paddle, by means of which the valve F is lowered. The valve is held in positio11(or closed) by the spiral springsvL. This spring surrounds the valverod, as seen, with one end bearing against the valve and the other on the bottom of the valve-chamber.

With the water-supply pipe connected with either of the branches B and with a sufficient head'of water, it will be seen that when the valve is pressed down the water will rush into the tube I and be discharged from the rose-head J with a force proportioned to the height of the head of water. This will effect` ually rinse the insides of bottles when the tube is inserted therein, or tumblers and all similar vessels.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A bottle-rinser, composed of the shell or n chamber A, with one or more rbranch tubes7 B,

valve F, valve-rod E, spring L, gland-nut C, cone K, tube I, and rose-head J, arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes described.
